There is increased activity in developing workflows and implementations in the context of urban energy analysis simulation based on 3D city models in smart cities. At the University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart (HFT Stuttgart), an urban energy simulation platform called ‘SimStadt’ has successfully been developed. It uses the CityGML 3D city model...

Urban digital twins have become an essential factor for cities and communities to visualize, simulate and analyze data. The conventional geospatial standards work great with online platforms such as CesiumJS or ArcGIS API for JavaScript. However, their usage in different platforms such as game engines has not been well established yet. Game engines...

As the world has more urbanized, cities need to assess and manage their building energy performances in order to achieve energy-reduction goals. The urban digital twins (UDT) offer promising solutions to this demand by providing valuable insights with qualitative and quantitative information about the building environment. The urban building energy...

This open access book presents the exciting research results of the BMBF funded project iCity and related research findings at HFT carried out at University of Applied Science Stuttgart to help cities to become more liveable, intelligent and sustainable, to become a LIScity. The research has been pursued with industry partners and NGOs from 2017 to...

Nowadays, the digital 3D city models are the basis of the urban data platform. It plays an essential role in various fields of industry and research, from urban resource planning, environmental simulation, disaster management, and many more. Especially, there is more and more use of 3D city models in 3D visualization applications. However, one comm...

The OGC Interoperable Simulation and Gaming Year 2 Sprint advanced the use of relevant OGC and Khronos Group standards in the modeling, simulation, and training communities through capability development, compatibility testing, and gap analysis. Of particular interest was the use of glTF models, game engines, and 3rd-party mobile device libraries f...

This paper explains the development of a 3D city model-based Public Participation Platform as a prototype and its implementation in a real-world public participation process to redevelop the Weilimdorf area of Stuttgart city. Alongside conducting Weilimdorf’s public participation process, the goal of the mentioned public participation platform is t...

Urban platforms are becoming a vital role player in city resources management for achieving the right balance between social and economic services and their impact on the environment. More and more cities are starting to benefit from an urban platform to state the city conditions and re-coin the shape of life depending on data gathered from differe...

The goal of the OGC ISG Sprint was to advance the use of relevant OGC and Khronos standards in the modeling and simulation community through practical exercise and testing of the draft specification produced by the 3D Data Container and Tiles API Pilot (and the associated YouTube Playlist). Of particular interest was the handling and integration of...

The recent advancement in Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is seen as a critical enabler to design intelligent smart cities targeting different domains. One such domain is modes of transport in a city. Currently, various cities around the world are envisioning innovative ways to reduce emissions in the cities by increasing physically ac...

In this paper, we present a concept for an urban energy dashboard built using different Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards integrated with 3D city models. With cities continuously pressed to cut upon their carbon emissions, it becomes vital to visualize different energy data under one application. This perfectly fits ourvision of developing...

Das "Smart Cities"-Konzept wird in größeren Städten angewandt, jedoch aufgrund des Personal-und Struktur-kostenbedarfs kaum in kleinen und mittleren Kommunen. Dieser Beitrag konzentriert sich auf die Übertragung des "Smart Cities"-Kon-zepts auf Kommunen im ländlichen Raum. Für den Anwendungsfall wird dieses Konzept im Rahmen des Projekts "Smart Vil...

The participation methods changed in recent years with the evolution of communication methods in general. It goes from an analog approach to a more information technology-based concept. This new form of participation is called e-Participation. With this new form of participation, the process opens up for different new technologies.The emergence of...

Auf Basis von 3D-Gebäudemodellen im CityGML-Standard kann mit der Simulationsplattform SimStadt unter anderem der Heiz- und Kühlenergiebedarf von Gebäuden sowie das PV Potential in Stadtquartieren berechnet werden. In der Praxis zeigt sich jedoch, dass Informationen wie Gebäudebaujahr, Sanierungsfortschritt oder genaue Angaben zur Nutzung der Gebäu...
